Invectives

We are living through an age of negativity. People are pushing others out of the way to become the avatars of invective. This trend may not have been started by Donald Trump in the presidential debates ... but it certainly was amplified therein. A good measure of this negativity would be to look at a list of invectives and who now seems to fir these slights. I offer the following line-op of those whose demeanors are not my favorites:

Manipulative -- Nancy Pelosi
Bombastic -- Adam Schiff
Sanctimonious -- James Comey
Malevolent -- Hillary Clinton
Caustic  -- Chuck Schumer
Spiteful -- John McCain
Abusive -- Alec Baldwin
Vindictive -- Robert Mueller
Lascivious -- Bill Clinton
Insolent -- Maxine Waters
Contemptuous -- Mika Brzezinski
Humiliating -- Donald Trump
Sheepish -- Jeff Sessions
Dense -- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Duplicitous -- Paul Ryan
Inconsequential -- Barack Obama
Self-serving -- Al Sharpton
Pedantic -- Thomas Fridman

(Just another exercises in frustration relief.)
